He was picked up by a container ship 600 nautical miles south of Hawaii. That’s where rescuers found him and dropped him a life raft after he ditched his plane on the way to Australia from the islands.

It’s the second time in five years he had to be rescued from the Pacific Ocean. Clamback ferries planes across the ocean.

He says he may quit the single-engine planes and just fly twin engine craft from now on.
